GFW carrier bag competition

Every year Graduate Fashion Week run a competition with River Island to design a carrier bag advertising the event, the brand and its sponsors. The winning design will be availble in shops in the weeks leading up to the event at Earl's Court, London, so forever who wins this is a major chance for some amazing exposure. Last year's winner Louisa Balls, goes to the same Uni as me (UCLan) and is in the year about me, doing the same course. The winner also recives £500 and two runners up get £100 River Island gift vouchers.

Heres my design, inspired by the London Underground tube maps, which I am slightly obsessed by;

Each line is made up from a wool brush which I found online and I have marked out where the Uni's that have Fashion courses are. It took for ever to finish.

  2. THAT

    IS

    INCREDIBLE.

    I'd doubt anyone came up with a design as cool as this!

    I'm really really REALLY hoping you win! I definitely want to get one of them once they're in stores!

    When does the decision come out? I bet you're super excited!
